Gargoyles (1994–1996): Season 2, Episode 47 - Turf - full transcript

GOLIATH:
One thousand years ago,

superstition
and the sword ruled.

It was a time of darkness.

It was a world of fear.

It was the age of gargoyles.

Stone by day,

warriors by night.

(GROWLS)

We were betrayed by the humans
we had sworn to protect,

frozen in stone
by a magic spell

for 1,000 years.



Now, here in Manhattan,

the spell is broken

and we live again.

(GROWLS)

We are Defenders of the Night.

We are gargoyles!

LEXINGTON:
Previously onGargoyles...

GOLIATH: This is Angela...

BROADWAY: I'm Broadway.
This is Lexington and Brooklyn.

COP: Brod! Stop.

BROD: Sorry. I can't stay.
(LAUGHING)

We'll shut you down,
burn you out or blow you up.

That clear enough?

You're under arrest.



-(GASPS)
-Don't do anything stupid.

(GRUNTS)

(EXCLAIMS)

You now have the evidence
you need against this leech.

Airtight.

Come on, come on,
let's go!

Quit floppin'
and start choppin'!

Come on down to
Dracon's House of Auto Parts.

The prices are hot...

And so is the merchandise!

(LAUGHING)

BROOKLYN: You see, Angie,
I patrol the city every night.

It's a dangerous job,
but someone's got to do it.

Yeah, I must've foiled

a hundred muggings since
I came to New York.

'Course, the real action's
in organized crime.

The streets are a lot safer

since I put
Tony Dracon behind bars.

(CHUCKLING)
Very impressive.

Um, is that normal?

LEXINGTON: Looks like
a Cyberbiotics Hovercraft.

Say, uh, did I ever tell you

about the time
I flew a helicopter?

I've seen one like that before.
And I didn't like the owner.

(GRUNTS)

That is why
I never go in first.

(COUGHING)

What about
Sleeping Beauty?

Let her sleep.

The prince has
a kingdom to conquer.

GLASSES: Trouble's coming!
Get ready!

(ALL COUGHING)

(COUGHING)
This one's bulletproof!

CHAVEZ OVER BULLHORN:
This is the police!

We have
the building surrounded!

Police?
(YELLING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Throw down your weapons

and come out with
your hands in the air!

Move, move, move!

(GRUNTS)

Hold your fire.

ANGELA: They're escaping!

That's my cue!

Your cue? Please.

Listen, two of us
will follow the car,

two will go
after the hovercraft.

Angie, you're with me.

Hey.

That's not fair.

How come you get
to go with Angela?

Hey, am I the
second-in-command or what?

You're abusing your power!

Hey, I'm in charge,
all right? Come on.

(ALL ARGUING)

Guys... Guys!

Uh-oh!

-(THUD)
-(ALL EXCLAIMING)

I tried to warn you.

ALL: Thanks.

(GROANS)
What happened?

Your plan worked

until police showed up.

What? Someone squealed.

I didn't come out of
retirement to turn rat.

I signed on 'cause
Brod's tough enough

to break Dracon's hold
on the New York turf.

I got no reason
to be a bum here.

And none of
the men I brought from

Prague would dare
betray Tomas Brod.

(SCOFFS) Then
I guess it was me.

(LAUGHING)

I know I like you.

Ah, Dracon's boys
probably got sloppy.

Led the cops
to the warehouse.

Yes. That will do... For now.

BROOKLYN:
I woulda caught 'em

if you weren't in my way!

You're the one
who got in my way!

You both botched it up.
I was right there.

(SIGHS)
It's almost dawn,

and Goliath,
Bronx and Hudson

still haven't
returned from patrol.

Don't worry.

We've all been caught
away from home at sunrise.

Yeah, but how many of us

have turned to
stone in mid-air?

Hey! A Macbeth robot
was after me.

Knock it off,
muttonheads!

(ALL ARGUING)

You're the guys who are
always getting into it.

I'm in control.

Brod burned us bad this time,
Tony. He's muscling in.

Fine. If Brod wants
a turf war with Anthony
Dracon, he'll get one.

What do you want us to do?

Hit these mutts
and hit 'em hard!

Right, boss. Got it.

MATT: Tomas Brod?

We'd like to ask
you some questions.

Like where were you
during last night's

raid on Tony Dracon's
chop shop?

Oh, chop shop?

What is chop shop?

(SIGHS) No matter.

We were here last night
till very late.

Is that not right?

-Yeah.
-That's right.

Mm-hmm.

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

OK, Brod,
let's converse.

Waste of time.

Salli will tell you
same story as me.

Exact same story.

Well, we'll just make sure

you don't compare notes.

Sit down... Miss.

Someone will be
with you soon.

(SIGHS) This way, tough guy.

Get off of me!
Get off of me!

I tell you
leave me alone!

(ALL CLAMORING)

(SIGHS)

(ALL ROARING)

Uh-oh.
We've got a problem.

(CHUCKLES)
Surprise.

Elisa?

(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)
I knew it was her all the time.

(CHUCKLING)
Oh, yeah. Me too.

Right off the bat.

Ha! Wasn't fooled
for a second.

(LOW) Please...

So why the disguise?

It's obvious.
You're undercover, right?

Right. Angela,
do you remember Tomas Brod?

From Prague?
That washis hovercraft.

Yeah, he's moved his
operation to New York.

I've infiltrated his gang

and now we're trying
to bust him and Dracon's men.

And you want me there
in case there's trouble.

(HESITANTLY) Well,

it could get tough to
check in with Matt.

You guys can follow
me places he can't.

-Hey, I'm there.
-I can do anything you need.

-We got you covered.
-Right there.

Yep, count on me.

Uh... Thanks.

I'd better get
back downstairs

before I'm missed.

Elisa, I know the boys

are trying to be
friendly but...

Are they always like this?

(CHUCKLES)

It's been a while
since they've been

around an attractive
female gargoyle,

like about 1,000 years.

You're a big girl.

Just let them know
how you expect to be treated.

ELISA: Come on, Captain!
Weeks of planning

and we can't bust any of
the top guys on either side?

You were out cold
the whole time.

Any half-decent lawyer would
rip your testimony apart!

Then let me stick
with Brod a little longer.

He's gotta make
another move against Dracon.

Or vice-versa.

Too dangerous.

We have to play
this out, Captain.

If one side
wins this turf war,

they'll be too
powerful to control.

This is the best
chance we'll get

to decimate both sides.

So glad we had
this chance to chat.

(STRAINING)
I said let go of me!

I can find my own way out!

Keep it up,
honeybunch, and you'll

find your way
to a holding pen!

Get out of my sight, Brod.
And take this trash with you.

All right,
here's the plan.

Me and Angie will
tail 'em and you guys
wait here for Goliath.

He's doing it again.

This is too important
for you to handle alone.

Listen, Elisa's
counting on us,

so no more fighting, OK?

-Who's fighting?
-This is our business.

I am not fighting.

(GASPS)

That bum Dracon hit us
all over town.

We've been hurt bad.

That was my
favorite restaurant!

Now he makes me mad.

Word on the street is

Dracon's got a trainload
of weapons coming in tonight.

Prepare hovercraft!

If Dracon wants war,
he gets war!

We hit the train

then destroy
the rest of Dracon's

operations with
his own weapons.

Why would Dracon be

carrying weapons
on a passenger train?

This putkahna
is clever.

You got that right, pal.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Let's get back
to the hovercraft!

JOEY:
There's no way out, Brod!

The turf war's over...

(LAUGHS) And you lose!

(GRUNTING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

Those creatures,
I fought some in Prague.

Why do they help me now?

Maybe they hate Dracon more.

(LAUGHING) You see me
with those guys, Angie?

Baboom!
Right over the side.

That's nothing.

Watch me take on
the hovercraft.

Not if I get
there first, slowpoke.

ANGELA: Wait!

(BEEP)

(SCREAMS)

(GRUNTS)

(GASPS)

(GROANS)

BROD: Don't move.

(LAUGHING) Looks
like I've got you.

Big deal.

You get rid of me,
there's a hundred

tough guys waiting
to take my place.

Dracons have owned this town

for three generations.

So... No more Dracons,
town gets new owner.

Whatever.

Tomas, we must
go back for him!

He is not the problem.

Don't worry, Angela.
Broadway's here.

Hey, butt out.
I'm the one who rescued her.

LEXINGTON: (GROGGILY)
Is she all right?

Oh, you got a lot
of nerve asking.

Yeah. This is
all your fault!

I can't help it if you guys

can't keep up
with Angie and me.

Angie and you?
Oh, forget about it.

Hey, hey, forget it.
She's mine, all right?

-She's my girl!
-Oh, yeah, right!

-In your dreams.
-I've had it.

(ALL CLAMORING)

Stop it!

Does anyone care
that Brod is getting away?

It's time you all stopped
acting like hatchlings.

The winner does
not get to keep me.

Now let's go.

Whoa. Busted.

Come on.
Elisa needs our help.

LEXINGTON: Hey, Angie!
Wait up!

Oh, and another thing...

Stop calling me Angie!

-Got it.
-No problem.

Angela it is.

I have been
making big mistake.

You want to kill snake,
you cut off the head.

So far, we only fight
the body of Dracon's operation.

Now we must destroy head.

(SCOFFS)
But Dracon's in jail.

We can't just break into
a maximum security prison!

Why not?

Well, for starters,

we won't even know
where to look for Dracon.

The bum's
in Cellblock D.

(LAUGHING) You see?
As good as done.

Sergeant, we've got a problem.

(SCREAMS)

(ALARM RINGING)

What's going on?
I didn't order a breakout.

(COUGHING)

Hurry!
Time to cut off the head!

Never thought I'd find myself
protecting Tony Dracon.

BROD: Is this the only way
into the cellblock?

Yeah.

Not anymore.

BROOKLYN: All right, guys!
Time for some teamwork!

(ALL GASP)

Keep him busy!
I know another way in!

Lex, give her a hand.

Right behind you!

(STRAINING)

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING)

You don't get off
that easy, pal.

(EXCLAIMS)

(SCREAMING)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Can't you do something?

I thought you flew
a helicopter.

(SHEEPISHLY) Yeah, but, uh...
First I kinda crashed it.

(ALARM CONTINUES RINGING)

(ALL CLAMORING)

(GASPS)

Guard! Guard!

I think they
are busy just now.

Like shooting
fish in barrel, no?

-No!
-(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Well, well. Nice to
see you again, sugar.

You know Salli?

You should have checked her
references, Brod.

Meet Detective
Elisa Maza, NYPD.

Prison suits you, Tony.

Pay attention, Dracon.
I practice on her.

-(STRAINING)
-(GRUNTS)

(GROWLING)

(GRUNTING)

You want
a piece of me, Brod?

You got it!

Right after I
exterminate these bats.

Putkahna!I will crush you!
But first, the reptiles!

BROOKLYN: These boys
just can't play nice.

BROADWAY: Yeah. We better
take away their toys.

(GRUNTING)

Thanks, guys,
but you better get lost

before the guards get here.

Hi. I got some
new inmates for you.

A couple of creeps
who were messing

with my turf.

Angela? I just wanna say
we're really sorry.

Yeah. We were acting
like a bunch of jerks.

From now on we'll just,
uh, you know... Back off.

Don't back off. Just slow down.
I like all three of you,

but if anything's gonna happen,
it'll happen in its own time.

Besides, I'm not the only
female gargoyle on Earth.

I have 15 rookery
sisters on Avalon.

So, uh...
When do we get our world tour?

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

GUARD: Last night's
little party cost

you your private
cell privileges, Dracon.

Here's your new roommate.

I hope you'll be
real happy together.
